PC Gamer UK Podcast 48: The Indie Special
Graham, Tom, Craig and Rich convene to discuss the future of indie. We’ve played a bunch of interesting games coming out in the next year that may not be on your radar yet, and should be. Under discussion: repulsive goo-splasher Confetti Carnival, bumbling clone orgy The Swapper, slapstick swordfighting deathmatcher Nidhogg, nerve-fraying mind war Spy Party, four-dimensional puzzle garden Miegakure, and rope-carrying-parrot simulator Rope Racket.

To help explain what we’re talking about a bit, Nidhogg creator Messhof was kind enough to let us post a video of Graham and I playing it. It’s embedded below.
PC Gamer UK Podcast 47: The Wizard-Wizard-Wizard Formation
Tim, Tom and Craig unite to talk about what Tim thinks of Diablo 3 now that he’s played it, what the best class is, and how the multiplayer works. We also share our greivances with Black Ops, how Inception would make a good game, and why Spy Party is so terrifying to play.

PC Gamer UK Podcast 46: The Minecraft Special
Tim, Tom, Graham and Craig devote a special episode just to Minecraft. What is it? Why is it good? How has it evolved? We share stories of first-night survival, ridiculously ambitious projects, exploration, multiplayer sauna-building, and rogue chickens.

PC Gamer UK Podcast 45: Deja Vu
Tim, Tom, Graham and Craig take a second stab at a podcast that was destroyed in a fire. We weigh in on whether Dota 2 can make Defense of the Ancients fun for the masses, how big a deal Fallout: New Vegas is, the philosophy behind BioShock Infinite, the ability to use feces as a writing implement in Duke Nukem Forever, the wisdom or otherwise of scaling difficulty in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the prospects for Civ 5‘s AI, and our ever-changing opinions of Team Fortress 2 selling items for real money. Tom also does an impression of the police baton from Deus Ex 1.
This is an extra-long bonus ultra podcast, bonusly ultra-soon after the last one, to make up for our unexpectedly long hiatus. And as a special favour to anyone sick of hearing about them, we barely mention StarCraft 2 or Minecraft. In two week’s time, we’ll be countering this with a favour to anyone who isn’t: a Minecraft special about why the game has taken such a firm hold of so many people.

PC Gamer UK Podcast 44: The Lost Podcat
Wet and shivering, the lost podcat scurries into the warm glow of your RSS feed. We know, it’s been two and a bit months. We are sorry. To make up for it, here’s the podcast we recorded at the same time as the Team Fortress 2 special but never got around to putting up. We’ll also have a new and shiny one for you within the week, when our regular podding will resume.
Rich explains what’s new in Dragon Age 2, and tries to excuse BioWare using the term ‘hotrodding the art style’. Tim’s seen Relic’s Warhammer 40K shooter, Space Marine, and has lots of good things to say about Company of Heroes Online. Craig actually talks about a strategy game for the first time ever, and it’s one in which ‘raise the GDP of China’ is a mission objective. Meanwhile Tom – hello – explains the brutal difficulty of trying to bake 300 loaves in Stronghold while stalking mounted archers with your slow but unstoppable terminator king.

PC Gamer UK Podcast 43: Team Fortress 2 special
Tim, Tom, Craig and Rich got together to devote a whole podcast to what they think of TF2 now that nine classes have had their updates. We talk about our favourite maps, our favourite classes, the best and the worst of the updates, and how the game’s score would change if we reviewed it again today. Let us know if you like these specialised podcasts and we may do more. We’ll have a normal podcast to celebrate the launch of our new issue next week. Grab it here, subscribe here.
PC Gamer UK Podcast 42
Trust me, I’m Machiavelli: We kick off season two of our podcast with talk of our new site. Tim, Tom, Graham and Craig discuss why Guild Wars 2 will be genuinely different, the crushing disappointment of APB, the cleverest thing about Portal 2, how drama works in The Old Republic, why Bethesda should use the Rage engine for the next Elder Scrolls, the ridiculous inconsistencies of Singularity, and how the PC fared against the consoles at E3. The true identity of the podcat is also revealed. One Twitter question demanded a photo of where we record our podcast, so there’s a grainy phone pic below the fold.

Reboot the PC, Crysis 2, XCOM, and orphans: Emerging battered and scarred from a messy publishing delay that nearly saw us saying some things we’re really not allowed to say yet, our new podcast is finally out.
Tim, Tom, Craig and Rich talk about how they’d reboot PC gaming, how combat works in Crysis 2′s big city, why XCOM will be awesome, the surprising joy of Frozen Synapse, and why kids and war don’t mix. One of the reasons, anyway. Grab the MP3 here, subscribe here.
